Follow the steps within this guide to help you create and/or edit/update your Home Page. 

Home Navigation 

• To display your homepage in the website navigation, enable the 'show in navigation' toggle.
• Choose the order in which the page will display
• Enter the Navigation text to be displayed.  There is a 30 character limit (numbers and letters).  

• Select a header layout by clicking "Change Layout." See header image examples here: Homepage Layout Options 
• Add your Sub Header and Main Header text. 

• Select the Text Panel Color: Light, Dark, Primary color

• Upload Header Image: Image will appear in the banner at the top of your webpage. A default image will be used if you choose not to upload your own.
  • For most layouts, the images will focus on the center of the image and cropping will occur either top, bottom or the sides at different screen sizes to work at different screen sizes. We recommend you explore different layouts for your images.
  • Note: For best viewing of this photo we recommend uploading a photo with dimensions of 16000px by 900px. (previously '1400px x 650px). This is the best catch all size to best support most of the banner sizes. See How to Edit Images
  • You can add your logo in the Website Settings, which will display on all pages as well as within emails and payment page that you send from the platform. 

• Choose Gradient over image - gives a gradient gray color if needed, so the text is easier to read. The examples can be see below:  

Gradient On: Venue name is clear

Gradient Off:  Venue Name and Subtext are not very visible 

PLEASE NOTE:  in some headers designs, the subtext and text are switched around for design purposes.  

Important Information Banner

You can use this to provide recent updates or information to your members/players. Maybe to promote that Holiday Camps are now available to register on or changes to terms and conditions etc. You can toggle this on and off as you use it. 

 Introduction

Important Note on using Images:

As a reminder, you should have permission or a license to use any images you use in your materials and online if you are not the actual copyright holder.  Please do not download and use images you find online, on social media, or various other platforms without the permission of the photographer (or other copyright owner). 

You may think others are downloading and sharing photos all the time so how can it be illegal?  Although this may be a common occurrence, it's copyright infringement to use images you do not have rights to.  You should not take an image you sourced online and post it on your website or include it in your materials unless you have permission or a license to do so.

Search Engine Optimization

• SEO page title : A page title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. Page title tags are displayed on search engine results pages as the clickable headline for a given result as well as in the browser, and are important for usability, SEO, and social sharing. The title will be prefixed by your venue name e.g. (Venue / Home).
